Next from the newsletter archive is one from early 85 - not sure what month but the first Citadel Journal gets a mention. In this one we have some Fighting Fantasy figures, which I must admit I don't even remember them, some of the Lord of the Rings range, the Dark Disciples of the Red Redemption (my mate Rob had LOADS of these and they were a chilling site on our Warhammer battlefields!) plus some Orcs and Hobgoblins. My faves here are the C06 Dwarfs, of which as you can probably tell I had most of. They are currently getting a well deserved paint-job after over 25 years!
Next is a couple of pages from the July 85 newsletter - I didn't bother to copy all this one as it was just repeated lists. This one contains some old D&D / AD&D figures, more Orcs and the excellent range of C46 Villagers and Townsfolk. I still have these and will get around to painting them (one day...)
Next is the August 85 releases. More AD&D, Lord of the Rings, the LE3 Gumshoes (which I still own and actually painted!), the second slotta-based version of Golgfags Ogres, the excellent Giant Hill Troll (want!) and best of all a tantalising advert for Blood Bath at Orc's Drift. Was it really on £5.95...
Lastly we have the September 85 releases. More AD&D, Lord of the Rings and Hobgoblins. This also has some nice Beastmen which sadly I never managed to get hold of. Interestingly on here is the Limited Edition LE2 Imperial Space Marine. Wonder how much he is worth these days?
Next up are some 86 / 87 newsletters!
